After calling San Diego FC's thrilling 1-0 win over Minnesota United FC, punching SDFC's ticket to the Western Conference final of the MLS Cup Playoffs, Darren Smith and John Gennaro jumped on and recorded an instant reaction podcast episode.

After getting a little bit of sleep, John woke up and ranted a bit about San Diego State losing a basketball game by 40 points to Michigan and the San Diego Padres announcing the hiring of their new bench coach and hitting coach.

Darren Smith checks in on how John Gennaro's ribs went over the weekend before the guys explore their own excitement over tonight's playoff game between San Diego FC and Minnesota United FC at Snapdragon Stadium, and spend a minute discussing the potential scheduling conflicts ahead.

They also play audio of Darren interviewing SDFC player Corey Baird, who grew up in San Diego County and has some comparisons between SDFC's playoff emotions and those he used to feel as a San Diego Chargers fan.

After that, Darren and John spend a little while talking about San Diego State's dominant football win over San Jose State on Saturday and discuss Friday's matchup against New Mexico, who aren't nearly as bad as you might expect. Also, the SDSU basketball team is taking on Michigan tonight and Oregon tomorrow, two games that could seriously change how this year's Aztecs team is thought of.

Darren Smith and John Gennaro start the podcast by discussing the anxiety around smoking a rack of ribs but quickly get into a weekend preview by ranking their top 5 sporting events of the weekend.

The guys then play the audio of San Diego Padres manager Craig Stammen on Buster Olney's Baseball Tonight podcast, where he made it clear that he's close with Manny Machado before calling out Fernando Tatis Jr. Was it too much? Is this going to cause a problem already between Tatis and Stammen?

The guys play a quick game of Rate That Take with a Yankees fan who called into a New York sports radio station before recapping a brilliant night for 17-year old Gilberto Mora and Club Tijuana that secured a spot in the LIGA MX playoffs.

And, as always on Friday, Darren and John each hand out some recommendations on this week's episode of Try This!
